Many people did experience this with 20 GB IBM drives. I think the
magnetic field that is generated by the drive prevents the magnetic
switch in the PowerBook to detect when the cover is about to be closed.
The solution was to stick something to the drive to cut the magnetic
field. I think it was a little piece of aluminum foil or something like
that. If you further refine your search, you should see references for
that fix. I personally didn't experience this with my TravelStar 20 GB
in my Wallstreet.
